OFFICE ACTION

 

STRICT DEADLINE TO RESPOND TO THIS LETTER

TO AVOID ABANDONMENT OF APPLICANT’S TRADEMARK APPLICATION, THE USPTO MUST RECEIVE APPLICANT’S COMPLETE RESPONSE TO THIS LETTER WITHIN 6 MONTHS OF THE ISSUE/MAILING DATE BELOW.  A RESPONSE TRANSMITTED THROUGH THE TRADEMARK ELECTRONIC APPLICATION SYSTEM (TEAS) MUST BE RECEIVED BEFORE MIDNIGHT EASTERN TIME OF THE LAST DAY OF THE RESPONSE PERIOD.

 

 

ISSUE/MAILING DATE: 5/7/2019

 

The referenced application has been reviewed by the assigned trademark examining attorney.  The trademark examining attorney has searched the Office’s database of registered and pending marks and has found no conflicting marks that would bar registration under Trademark Act Section 2(d).  TMEP §704.02; see 15 U.S.C. §1052(d).

 

REFUSAL – SURNAME REFUSAL

 

Registration is refused because the applied-for mark is primarily merely a surname.  Trademark Act Section 2(e)(4), 15 U.S.C. §1052(e)(4); see TMEP §1211. 

 

An applicant’s mark is primarily merely a surname if the surname, when viewed in connection with the applicant’s recited goods, “‘is the primary significance of the mark as a whole to the purchasing public.’”  Earnhardt v. Kerry Earnhardt, Inc., 864 F.3d 1374, 1377, 123 USPQ2d 1411, 1413 (Fed. Cir. 2017) (quoting In re Hutchinson Tech. Inc., 852 F.2d 552, 554, 7 USPQ2d 1490, 1492 (Fed. Cir. 1988)); TMEP §1211.01.

 

The following five inquiries are often used to determine the public’s perception of a term’s primary significance:

 

(1)       Whether the surname is rare;

 

(2)       Whether anyone connected with applicant uses the term as a surname;

 

(3)       Whether the term has any recognized meaning other than as a surname;

 

(4)       Whether the term has the structure and pronunciation of a surname; and

 

(5)       Whether the term is sufficiently stylized to remove its primary significance from that of a surname.

 

In re Eximius Coffee, LLC, 120 USPQ2d 1276, 1278 & n.2, 1282-83 (TTAB 2016) (citing In re Benthin Mgmt. GmbH, 37 USPQ2d 1332, 1333-34 (TTAB 1995) for the Benthin inquiries/factors); TMEP §1211.01; see also In re Etablissements Darty et Fils, 759 F.2d 15, 16-18, 225 USPQ 652, 653 (Fed. Cir. 1985). 

 

These inquiries are not exclusive, and any of these circumstances – singly or in combination – and any other relevant circumstances may be considered when making this determination.  In re Eximius Coffee, LLC, 120 USPQ2d at 1277-78; TMEP §1211.01.  For example, when the applied-for mark is not stylized, it is unnecessary to consider the fifth inquiry.  In re Yeley, 85 USPQ2d 1150, 1151 (TTAB 2007); TMEP §1211.01.

 

In the instant matter, applicant seeks to register the mark SAUTER POWER TOOL for various kinds of tools, in Class 7 and various kinds of controls, apparatus and software, in Class 9.

 

Please see the attached evidence from LexisNexis, establishing the surname significance of SAUTER.  This evidence shows the applied-for mark appearing 8,131 times as a surname in the LEXISNEXIS® surname database, which is a weekly updated directory of cell phone and other phone numbers (such as voice over IP) from various data providers. 

 

Evidence that a term has no recognized meaning or significance other than as a surname is relevant to determining whether the term would be perceived as primarily merely a surname.  See In re Weiss Watch Co., 123 USPQ2d 1200, 1203 (TTAB 2017); In re Eximius Coffee, LLC, 120 USPQ2d 1276, 1280 (TTAB 2016); TMEP §1211.02(b)(vi).  The attached evidence from Dictionary.Com and The Columbia Gazetteer of the World shows that SAUTER does not appear in the dictionary and gazetteer.  Thus, this term appears to have no recognized meaning or significance other than as a surname. 

 

A term that is the surname of an individual applicant or that of an officer, founder, owner, or principal of applicant’s business is probative evidence of the term’s surname significance.  TMEP §1211.02(b)(iv); see, e.g., In re Etablissements Darty et Fils, 759 F.2d 15, 16, 225 USPQ 652, 653 (Fed. Cir. 1985) (holding DARTY primarily merely a surname where “Darty” was the surname of applicant’s corporate president); In re Eximius Coffee, LLC, 120 USPQ2d 1276, 1278-80 (TTAB 2016) (holding ALDECOA primarily merely a surname where ALDECOA was the surname of the founder and individuals continuously involved in the business); In re Integrated Embedded, 120 USPQ2d 1504, 1507 (TTAB 2016) (holding BARR GROUP primarily merely a surname where BARR was the surname of the co-founder and applicant’s corporate officer and GROUP was found “incapable of lending source-identifying significance to the mark”); Miller v. Miller, 105 USPQ2d 1615, 1620, 1622-23 (TTAB 2013) (holding MILLER LAW GROUP primarily merely a surname where “Miller” was the surname of the applicant and the term “law group” was found generic).  The attached evidence from the Google search engine shows that applicant’s company was founded by Willi Sauter.

 

If the mark combines a surname with an additional terms, the mark will be evaluated to determine if the primary significance of the mark as a whole in connection with applicant’s goods and/or services is still that of a surname.  See Earnhardt v. Kerry Earnhardt, Inc., 864 F.3d 1374, 1377, 123 USPQ2d 1411, 1413 (Fed. Cir. 2017); TMEP §1211.01(b).  A key element in this determination is the relative distinctiveness of the additional term in the mark.  Earnhardt v. Kerry Earnhardt, Inc., 864 F.3d at 1377, 123 USPQ2d at 1413 (citing In re Hutchinson Tech. Inc., 852 F.2d 552, 554-55, 7 USPQ2d 1490, 1492 (Fed. Cir. 1988)); TMEP §1211.01(b)(vi). 

 

A nondistinctive term is typically accorded less weight and is not likely to detract from the primary surname significance of the mark.  See Azeka Bldg. Corp. v. Azeka, 122 USPQ2d 1477, 1481 n.9, 1482 (TTAB 2017) (construing In re Hutchinson Tech. Inc., 852 F.2d at 554, 7 USPQ2d at 1492-93); TMEP §1211.01(b)(vi).  Although individual components of a mark may be weighed to determine the mark’s overall commercial impression, the combination of the individual parts must be viewed as a whole to determine if the additional term alters the primary significance of the mark to the purchasing public.  Earnhardt v. Kerry Earnhardt, Inc., 864 F.3d at 1378-79, 123 USPQ2d at 1414 (quoting In re Oppedahl & Larson LLP, 373 F.3d 1171, 1174-75, 71 USPQ2d 1370, 1372 (Fed. Cir. 2004)). 

 

 

In this case, the addition of the wording POWER TOOL does not alter the primary significance of the mark as a whole from that of a surname.   This is because the term TOOL refers to a machine, e.g. a machine for shaping metal; and the term POWER means operated mechanically or electrically rather than manually. Together, the wording POWER TOOL refers to a type of devices that work mechanically or on electricity.

 

Possible Options to Refusal

 

A mark deemed primarily merely a surname may be registered on the Principal Register under Trademark Act Section 2(f) based on a claim of acquired distinctiveness.  See 15 U.S.C. §1052(f); 37 C.F.R. §2.41(a); TMEP §§1211, 1212.  Applicant may respond by asserting a claim of acquired distinctiveness based on one or more of the following:

 

(1)       Prior Registrations:  Applicant may claim ownership of one or more active prior registrations on the Principal Register of the same mark for goods and/or services that are sufficiently similar to those named in the pending application.  37 C.F.R. §2.41(a)(1); TMEP §§1212, 1212.04.  Applicant may do so by submitting the following statement, if accurate:  “The mark has become distinctive of the goods and/or services as evidenced by the ownership of active U.S. Registration No(s). ________ on the Principal Register for the same mark for sufficiently similar goods and/or services.”  TMEP §1212.04(e).

 

(2)       Five Years’ Use:  Applicant may submit the following statement, verified with an affidavit or signed declaration under 37 C.F.R. §2.20:  “The mark has become distinctive of the goods and/or services through the applicant’s substantially exclusive and continuous use of the mark in commerce that the U.S. Congress may lawfully regulate for at least the five years immediately before the date of this statement.”  37 C.F.R. §2.41(a)(2); TMEP §1212.05(d); see 37 C.F.R. §2.193(e)(1).

 

(3)       Other Evidence:  Applicant may submit other evidence of acquired distinctiveness, with the following statement, if accurate:  “The evidence shows that the mark has become distinctive of the goods and/or services.”  37 C.F.R. §2.41(a)(3); TMEP §1212.06.  Such additional evidence may include “advertising expenditures, sales success, length and exclusivity of use, unsolicited media coverage, and consumer studies (linking the name to a source).”  In re Change Wind Corp., 123 USPQ2d 1453, 1467 (TTAB 2017) (quoting In re Steelbuilding.com, 415 F.3d 1293, 1300, 75 USPQ2d 1420, 1424 (Fed. Cir. 2005)). 

 

If applicant cannot satisfy one of the above, applicant may respond by amending the application to seek registration on the Supplemental Register.  See 15 U.S.C. §1091; 37 C.F.R. §§2.47, 2.75(a).

 

RIGHT TO RESPOND

 

Although applicant’s mark has been refused registration, applicant may respond to the refusal(s) by submitting evidence and arguments in support of registration.

 

 

INFORMALITIES

 

Applicant must respond timely and completely to the issue(s) below.  15 U.S.C. §1062(b); 37 C.F.R. §§2.62(a), 2.65(a); TMEP §§711, 718.03.

 

ADISORY

 

The identification of goods and/or services contains parentheses.  Generally, applicants should not use parentheses and brackets in identifications in their applications so as to avoid confusion with the USPTO’s practice of using parentheses and brackets in registrations to indicate goods that have been deleted from registrations or in an affidavit of incontestability to indicate goods not claimed.  See TMEP §1402.12.  The only exception is that parenthetical information is permitted in identifications in an application if it serves to explain or translate the matter immediately preceding the parenthetical phrase in such a way that it does not affect the clarity or scope of the identification, e.g., “fried tofu pieces (abura-age).”  Id.

 

Therefore, applicant must remove the parentheses from the identification and incorporate any parenthetical or bracketed information into the description of the goods.

 

ADVISORY

 

               Please note that the examining attorney has invested a significant amount of time attempting to provide applicant with detailed instructions for perfecting applicant’s identification of goods.  To ensure complete and efficient future examination of the amended recitation, the examining attorney respectfully requests that applicant highlight in bold and/or underscore any and all amendments made to the identification of goods.

 

IDENTIFICATION OF GOODS

Class 7

The wording “Machine tools, milling, drilling, copying and turning machines, tool turrets and tool disc turrets, parts for the aforesaid machines and turrets, in particular electric, hydraulic and electromechanical drives, including positioning devices, gears, couplings, fluid valves, hydraulic and pneumatic and lubricant-dispensing units; Rotary indexing tables, tool magazines, tool holders, tool and workpiece positioning units, workpiece holders, interchangeable chucks; Power tools; Robots (machines), Handling apparatus and Positioning devices; Robots (machines) for separating, cutting, joining, welding, milling, deburring, grinding, peeling, rolling and polishing; Machines for gripping, moving and positioning mechanical components, including workpieces and/or tools; Tool changers, mechanical rotation, turning, lifting and conversion apparatus and mechanically driven apparatus for retaining, tensioning and gripping workpieces; Operating devices for the aforesaid machines” in the identification of goods is indefinite and must be clarified because it does not put consumers on notice as to the precise nature of applicant’s goods.  See 37 C.F.R. §2.32(a)(6); TMEP §1402.01.  Applicant must amend the identification to specify the common commercial or generic name of the goods.  If there is no common commercial or generic name, applicant must describe the product and intended consumer as well as its main purpose and intended uses. 

Applicant may substitute the following wording, if accurate: 

Class 7 - Machine tools, namely, ____________ [specify these goods by their common commercial names]; (please insert a semi-colon here) milling machines; (please insert a semi-colon here)  drilling machines; (please insert a semi-colon here) copying machines, namely, __________ [specify these goods by their common commercial names]; (please insert a semi-colon here) and turning machines, namely, __________ [specify these goods by their common commercial names]; tool turrets, namely, __________ [specify these goods by their common commercial names]and tool disc turrets, namely, __________ [specify these goods by their common commercial names]; (please insert a semi-colon here) replacement and structural parts for the aforesaid machines and turrets, namely, electric, hydraulic and electromechanical drives, including (delete the term “including”) positioning devices, gears, couplings, fluid valves, hydraulic and pneumatic and lubricant-dispensing units; Rotary indexing tables, namely, __________ [specify these goods by their common commercial names]; (please insert a semi-colon here) tool magazines, namely, __________ [specify these goods by their common commercial names]; (please insert a semi-colon here) machine tool holders; (please insert a semi-colon here) machine tool and workpiece positioning units for ___________ [specify the actual purpose of these goods]; (please insert a semi-colon here)  workpiece holders, namely, __________ [specify these goods by their common commercial names]; (please insert a semi-colon here)  interchangeable chucks, namely, __________ [specify these goods by their common commercial names]; (please insert a semi-colon here) Power tools, namely, __________ [specify these goods by their common commercial names]; Industrial Robots for machine handling and positioning; Industrial Robots for separating, cutting, joining, welding, milling, deburring, grinding, peeling, rolling and polishing; Machines for gripping, moving and positioning mechanical components, including workpieces and/or tools; Tool changers being parts of machines for mechanical rotation, turning and lifting; Machine parts in the nature of and conversion apparatus and mechanically driven apparatus for retaining, tensioning and gripping workpieces;

Class 9 - Operating devices, namely, electronic control devices for the operation of ___________ [specify the machines for which these control devices are intended]

Please note: The text in italics, bold and/or underscored found in the proposed amended identification indicates either directions on how to make the identification sufficiently definite or are examples of appropriate amended language which replaced language currently in the identification.

Class 9

The wording “Controls, in particular NC and CNC controls for machine tools of all types, and for tool turrets and tool disc turrets, computers and data processing devices connected thereto, computers, software; Measuring, signalling and checking (supervision) apparatus; Computers and computer programs, in particular for controlling, regulating and simulating manufacturing installations, robots, mobile platforms and tools, and tool carriers” in the identification of goods is indefinite and must be clarified because it does not put consumers on notice as to the precise nature of applicant’s goods.  See 37 C.F.R. §2.32(a)(6); TMEP §1402.01.  Applicant must amend the identification to specify the common commercial or generic name of the goods.  If there is no common commercial or generic name, applicant must describe the product and intended consumer as well as its main purpose and intended uses. 

Applicant may substitute the following wording, if accurate: 

Class  9 - Industrial automation controls, in particular NC and CNC controls for machine tools of all types, and for tool turrets and tool disc turrets with computers and data processing devices connected thereto; computers; computer software for ______________ [specify the actual function of the computer software, e.g. for use in operating machine tools]; measuring devices, namely, _________________  [specify these goods by their common commercial names, e.g. revolution counters, torguemeters, length measuring devices, vibration measuring devices, speed control devices, laser measurement apparatus]; signalling devices, namely, _________________  [specify these goods by their common commercial names, e.g., position and torque sensors, inductive, capacitive and optical transducers, annunciators and indicator lights]; supervision devices, , namely, _________________  [specify these goods by their common commercial names, e.g.,, surveillance apparatus for controlling and monitoring the actual working situation of all kind of working machines and their parts, like tool turrets]; computers and computer programs for controlling, regulating and simulating manufacturing installations, industrial robots, industrial mobile platforms and tools, and tool carriers

Please note: The text in italics, bold and/or underscored found in the proposed amended identification indicates either directions on how to make the identification sufficiently definite or are examples of appropriate amended language which replaced language currently in the identification.

In the identification of goods, applicant must use the common commercial or generic names for the goods, be as complete and specific as possible, and avoid the use of indefinite words and phrases.  TMEP §1402.03(a); see 37 C.F.R. §2.32(a)(6).  If applicant uses indefinite words such as “apparatus,” “components,” “devices,” “materials,” or “parts,” such wording must be followed by “namely,” and a list of each specific product identified by its common commercial or generic name.  See TMEP §§1401.05(d), 1402.03(a).

Applicant’s goods may be clarified or limited, but may not be expanded beyond those originally itemized in the application or as acceptably amended.  See 37 C.F.R. §2.71(a); TMEP §1402.06.  Applicant may clarify or limit the identification by inserting qualifying language or deleting items to result in a more specific identification; however, applicant may not substitute different goods and/or services or add goods and/or services not found or encompassed by those in the original application or as acceptably amended.  See TMEP §1402.06(a)-(b).  The scope of the goods and/or services sets the outer limit for any changes to the identification and is generally determined by the ordinary meaning of the wording in the identification.  TMEP §§1402.06(b), 1402.07(a)-(b).  Any acceptable changes to the goods and/or services will further limit scope, and once goods and/or services are deleted, they are not permitted to be reinserted.  TMEP §1402.07(e).

For assistance with identifying and classifying goods and services in trademark applications, please see the USPTO’s online searchable U.S. Acceptable Identification of Goods and Services Manual.  See TMEP §1402.04.

GENERAL INQUIRY

 

Applicant must explain whether “POWER TOOL” has any meaning or significance in the industry in which the goods are manufactured, or if such wording is a “term of art” within applicant’s industry.  See 37 C.F.R. §2.61(b); TMEP §814. 

              

Further, applicant must provide additional information about this wording to enable proper examination of the application.  Specifically, applicant must respond to the following questions:  With reference to the identified goods, what is the significance of the wording POWER TOOL.

 

Failure to respond to a request for information is an additional ground for refusing registration.  See In re Cheezwhse.com, Inc., 85 USPQ2d 1917, 1919 (TTAB 2008); In re DTI P’ship LLP, 67 USPQ2d 1699, 1701 (TTAB 2003); TMEP §814.

 

 

 

 

DISCLAIMER

 

Applicant is advised that, if the application is amended to seek registration on the Principal Register under Trademark Act Section 2(f) or on the Supplemental Register, applicant will be required to disclaim “POWER TOOL” because such wording appears to be generic in the context of applicant’s goods and/or services.  See 15 U.S.C. §1056(a); In re Wella Corp., 565 F.2d 143, 144, 196 USPQ 7, 8 (C.C.P.A. 1977); In re Creative Goldsmiths of Wash., Inc., 229 USPQ 766, 768 (TTAB 1986); TMEP §1213.03(b).

 

Applicant may submit a disclaimer in the following format:

 

No claim is made to the exclusive right to use “POWER TOOL” apart from the mark as shown.

 

TMEP §1213.08(a)(i).

PRIVATE COMPANY SOLICITATIONS REGARDING YOUR APPLICATION:  Private companies not associated with the USPTO are using information provided in trademark applications to mail or e-mail trademark-related solicitations.  These companies often use names that closely resemble the USPTO and their solicitations may look like an official government document.  Many solicitations require that you pay “fees.” 

 

Please carefully review all correspondence you receive regarding this application to make sure that you are responding to an official document from the USPTO rather than a private company solicitation.  All official USPTO correspondence will be mailed only from the “United States Patent and Trademark Office” in Alexandria, VA; or sent by e-mail from the domain “@uspto.gov.”  For more information on how to handle private company solicitations, see http://www.gov.uspto.report/trademarks/solicitation_warnings.jsp.
